Ep 118: Ryan Hopkins- Why stutter stepping isn't the best option for changing direction, adding weight to your jumps, ascending strength protocols, and whether or not you should actively point the toes up or down when jumping
Ryan Hopkins has spent the last 15 years of his life exploring everything fitness and weightlifting related and, with the launch of SoHo Strength Lab in 2013, transitioned into the gym ownership aspect of the fitness world. Ryan began his deep dive into health and fitness as an Athletic Training major at the University of Central Florida, but his most significant learning was done outside of the classroom. Ryan separates himself from many fitness professionals because of his exposure to and comprehension of a wide variety of training methods and modalities. Ryan is constantly educating himself, applying what he learns in his training to "experience the individualities and peculiarities of each approach for every situation and circumstance." https://theperformanceparadigm.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sslryan/ Check Out My Game Speed Course and Programs at www.multidirectionalpower.com

Ep 116: Jason Feairheller- Why The T-Step Is An Effective Strategy For Changing Direction
Ep 116: Jason Feairheller- Why The T-Step Is An Effective Strategy For Changing Direction I recently made a post asking if turning the foot out is an effective strategy for changing direction. To give you some more context the video is from this year's NFL Combine and features Christian Gonzalez, a cornerback from Oregon performing the W Drill. In this drill Christian backpedals straight back and on a cue he sprints forward at a slight angle. In the video I made a point to show the strategy Christian uses to make this transition from backward to forward, and in the video he performs a T step or turns his foot to the side to stop.I said this was a good strategy, but about half of the comments I got said it wasn't so I just want to go into a little more detail about why this is the most effective way to make this transition. https://www.instagram.com/jasonfeairheller/ https://www.instagram.com/speedandpowerpodcast/ Checkout my Multidirectional Plyometric Course: https://www.multidirectionalpower.com/copy-of-home
